As an engineer and father of two boys, and as the husband of a woman who has an engineering degree and is now a physician, I say kudos to the school for doing this. The field of engineering and our nation will benefit from having more women in engineering and related fields. If we are going to compete globally 50 years from now, we need both men and women at the table. The fact that women are still underrepresented in engineering in this country is very sad, and anything to change this is a good thing.
